Welcome
The Conceptualising Transitivity Networks through Pattern-Based Constructions project has brought together insights from three approaches to the lexis and grammar of English. From Corpus Linguistics and lexicography comes the concept of Pattern Grammar; from Cognitive Linguistics comes Construction Grammar; and from Systemic-Functional Linguistics comes the concept of the network as a model of choices in semantics and in lexicogrammar.
The project was funded by the Leverhulme Emeritus Fellowship scheme (EM2022-022). It ran from 2022 to 2025.
The Project Team:
- Principle Investigator: Susan Hunston
- Research Assistants: Caroline Ellis, Abbie Ip (Tsz Yuet Ip), Kelly Su (Ze Su)
- Website development: Cerys Lewis and Mohammad Afraz Ahmed of the Research Software Group
